Yesterday I posted a set of pictures in front of my hometown in the countryside in my circle of friends - in the early evening after the rain, in the hilly areas of the south, green seedlings surrounded a pond of blooming lotus, with the blue sky washed by water and floating flowers. Waves of white clouds, the photo is instantly as high-end as an oil painting, as if the camera has switched to a well-known scenic spot.

Soon, likes and comments were pouring in! At least it maxed out my circle of friends. One night, I was busy replying to messages and fell into a veritable state of scrolling through my phone.

A friend asked: "Where is it? It's so beautiful, so beautiful!" A friend said: "The scenery is picturesque and breathtaking, no less than Shangri-La in Yunnan"; another friend commented: "Such a beautiful place, Give me a route and I'll stay there for a few days."

After replying individually, I responded in unison: This is the scenery at the door of my hometown in Xinyang countryside, where I herded cattle when I was a child.

I can’t help but sigh: The omnipotent circle of friends! The beautiful article I wrote after holding back for two days, and the delicious food I posted after working in the kitchen for a long time, surprisingly did not attract as much attention as these pictures of alluring scenery!

What is the reason?

I secretly thought: In our busy lives, everyone’s glimpse of this fresh and refined pastoral beauty immediately impacted their tired vision, and everyone’s inner desire for poetry and distance was thus aroused.

Although the beautiful articles on the mobile phone are beautiful, due to the explosion of information, there is no time to read and appreciate the experience; as for delicious food, a bowl of soup is enough to soothe the stomach, and a phone call can also be delivered to your door! At this time, only the beautiful scenery cannot be let down, and only the beautiful scenery needs to be practiced. Have you said it all? Body and soul, one must be on the road!

So the beautiful scenery captivates the soul and inspires people to want to go on a trip, regardless of whether it can happen or not.

Returning to the topic of this article, when I saw a set of pictures in my circle of friends that were exactly what I imagined, I felt relaxed and comfortable, and I couldn’t help but like, leave messages, and inquire about them.

Actually, when I replied: The scenery is right at the door of my hometown! Poetry is actually not far away!

Yes, busy life and narrow space often make us forget ourselves and the ubiquitous scenery at our doorstep. We long to go to distant places to relax our minds, thinking that beyond the mountains and by the sea, there are the most beautiful scenery waiting for us to encounter. So we always sigh: being tied to the same place and wasting years on the same way to and from get off work. In fact, if you can't go to distant places for the time being, take a closer look around you, there is poetry everywhere.

Often on my way to get off work, I would cycle to a park 1 km away from home and sit for a while. For a moment of solitude, you can watch the flowers blooming differently on both sides of the road, the seasons change, you can watch the quiet and peaceful water in the small river, and you can also capture the burning clouds in the western sky. In this way, you can also discover the beauty of life, and the small happiness dilutes the fatigue caused by work.

Yes, there is no need to deliberately pursue poetry. At a certain moment, the seemingly ordinary fields are there. It depends on whether you have eyes that find beauty; in fact, sometimes the distance is not far away, it is always in your heart; Reading a knowing book, tasting a cup of fragrant tea, enjoying a warm dinner with your family, and a happy gathering with friends are full of poetry and are worth the pursuit of thousands of mountains and rivers.

Even if life is not very rich and we may still be in a state of being contentious, it cannot stop us from capturing and pursuing the beauty of life.

Even on an ordinary path, if you can see a lotus blooming, you must have experienced the unusual fragrance.

Poetry is sometimes right at the doorstep.
